It focuses on the structure and function of biological macromolecules and their relationship, and studies life phenomena and life process activities at the molecular level based on the basic concepts and methods of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
Biochemistry major is the most advanced and active discipline in life science, which mainly cultivates solid basic knowledge of chemical biology and extensive knowledge in cross-field of chemical biology, skilled experimental skills in chemistry and related biology, strong sense of innovation and high comprehensive quality, and has the basic ability to engage in scientific research in cross-field of chemical biology, and can engage in teaching, scientific research, technology development and management in related fields such as chemical biology, chemistry, life, medicine, materials, chemical industry and environmental protection.
